Abstract

With China emerging as the largest Internet market of over 100 million users surpassing the US, top US Internet companies like Yahoo! and Google forayed into the Chinese market. However, stringent regulations on the use of the Internet forced many companies to censor the information that was in conflict with the policies of the Chinese government. Google also compromised on its motto 'Don't be evil' and agreed to censor search results linked to a few politically sensitive terms like 'democracy' and 'freedom'. The US government and many human rights activists condemned Google for suppressing the basic freedom of expression and speech.
